Russia ‘Arbitrarily’ Executes Ukrainian Prisoners of War: OSCE

The violations also include “torture, ill-treatment, denial of fair trial rights, and unsafe detention and transfer conditions.”

Russia is responsible for “widespread and systematic violations” of international law in the treatment of Ukrainian prisoners of war including “arbitrary killings”, according to an OSCE report published Thursday. The violations also include “torture, ill-treatment, denial of fair trial rights, and unsafe detention and transfer conditions,” said the report by the Vienna-based Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The report is the result of a mission of three experts tasked by the OSCE to look into Russia’s treatment of Ukrainian prisoners of war. They found that Ukrainian soldiers were not recognised as prisoners of war by Russia, which “opens the door for criminal prosecution of POWs for mere participation in hostilities”. “The mission documented a high number of arbitrary killings and executions attributable to the Russian Federation, occurring both on the battlefield and in detention,” the report said. Estimates indicate that at least 13,500 members of the Ukrainian armed forces have been detained since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, it added. “Of these, approximately 169 have died in captivity, nearly 6,800 have been released and repatriated, and an estimated 6,300 remain in detention,” the report said, denouncing Russia’s lack of cooperation in the investigation.

Forty-one of the 57 OSCE member states asked the organisation in July to look into Russia’s treatment of Ukrainian prisoners of war. For the report, the experts conducted, among others, interviews with former prisoners of war and had access to written testimonies. The report said a “particularly egregious case” was the Olenivka penal colony in the Russian-occupied Donetsk region, where “systemic violations occurred”. The experts “would encourage the ICC (International Criminal Court) Office of the Prosecutor to pursue investigations into these violations,” the report said, given “the extensive documentation of violations against POWs”. The OSCE has published several reports since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, within the framework of the so-called Moscow Mechanism, highlighting violations that might constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Russia has done that in every war they've ever been in. The surprise is not if they are doing it again. It would be surprising if they were not.

As has pretty much everyone else in war
 
I am okay with Ukraine dishing this right back to them.

Nobody is going to miss any Russians.
 
IMO, it is important that Ukraine observe the Geneva Conventions and the Laws of Modern Warfare.

Doing less will see Ukraine lose its valuable Western support. Israel's genoicide in Gaza is an example of frittering away its international support after the October 7 Hamas attacks.

Well regarding these "war crimes". It's nothing but Ukrainian propaganda. As usual.
The key point is that we once again are talking only about Russian war crimes.
It looks like Ukrainian military never commits any crimes. They are the saint of course.
Bullshit as ever.

War crimes against Russians are more like war whoopsies.

It's the same thing, except nobody cares.

Yeah. The poor Russians. I mean sure they blew up the AN-225, but they had a good reason. It was there. They blew a hole in the covering over their excellent Chernobyl nuclear reactor which exploded.

Poor Russians.
 
The Russian government and the Russian military are criminal organizations when we apply the Nuremburg rulings/lessons.
